Imagine thinking that you have a cold. But, you take medication and the symptoms only get worse. You find yourself in the ICU and you are having trouble breathing. The symptoms eventually ease, but they return with what appears to be no rhyme or reason. Little did you know, that the medicine you were administered could have been the catalyst for the illness. By the grace of God you come upon a doctor who has seen these symptoms before. He begins to tell you that you do not have asthma, allergies, or a cold. But that you have an incurable, yet treatable disease called AERD. AERD is Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease. Imagine taking aspirin for a headache and ending up in the ICU because of the impact that it has on your lungs. Rhonda Nelson shares her diagnosis and journey with AERD. As she navigates through this life, she also understands the good that you put into the world can return to you. She is an advocate for people with AERD and children in the foster care system. Please take a moment to check out this amazing episode and let us know your thoughts!

With inflation on the rise, tariff wars, economic downturn, and an increase in unemployment, there is cause for concern. Especially those who are experiencing being unemployed and uninsured at the same time. With so much uncertainty, there is no specific place or agency you can turn to for help. Social Security is changing. Everything is different. We either have to embrace the change or find ways to support ourselves during the change. Did you know that if you are uninsured and unemployed - you don't have to go without medication because you cannot afford it? Did you know that you can still get critical medical care? For free or a fraction of the price? If you didn't know this, soon, you will know how. Check out Episode 112: Uncertain Times to learn how!

You have been the anchor in your family. Everytime something is going on, you are the one who puts out the fire. The world sits on your shoulders. The kids, spouse, neighbors, coworkers, and friends all need you for something, if not everything. You are there for them. But you look up and notice that they are not there for you in that same or greater capacity. You cannot expect "you" from everyone, but you can expect "you" from "you". Wait what? This means, you have to show up for you. You have to set boundaries, creative methods to reset/refresh, and give yourself grace and space to grow. That is the focus of this episode- unapologetically you. Check in on yourself!

In life, we experience many obstacles. We learn to build a wall and think of ways to protect ourselves. Whether it is physical or mental, we all need space to breathe and reset. But, if all your life there was no space for this, what did you learn to do? Adversity and pain became your normal. In this episode, our guest, Alise Jones gives a very candid look on how to deal with all these things. Once she overcame, her new normal was actually normal. Surreal as it may have felt, how do you learn to accept this true normal? She will unpack what she meant when she said, "Learning to Be OK, with Being OK".
